This fully revised edition provides a solid framework for understanding the complex subject of brain imaging, integrating relevant information from Dr. Osborn's entire career of accumulated knowledge, experience, and interest in neuropathology, neurosurgery, and clinical neurosciences.

The purpose of the book is to combine knowledge from the fields of biomechanics and neurophysiology into a unified framework known as neuromechanics. From this perspective, human movement is characterized as being controlled by the nervous system within the constraints dictated by the laws of physics.

This book demonstrates the importance of cognitive research, and stresses that much can be achieved in this field with even the simplest of equipment. The book offers explanations of electroencephalography and rheoencephalography.

As neuroimaging turns toward data-intensive discovery, researchers in the field must learn to access, manage, and analyze datasets at unprecedented scales. Concerns about reproducibility and increased rigor in reporting of scientific results also demand higher standards of computational practice.

Anatomy & Physiology For Dummies combines anatomical terminology and function so you'll learn not only names and terms but also gain an understanding of how the human body works. Whether you're a student, an aspiring medical, healthcare or fitness professional, or just someone who's curious about the human body and how it works, this book offers you a fun, easy way to get a handle on the basics of anatomy and physiology.

Quirky, bizarre, and beautiful, Anatomical Oddities traverses the body's crypts, islets, and mountains to reveal a secret map of organ, tissue, and bone--complete with peculiar place names ( duodenum , from the Greek for "twelve-fingers-long part of the gut") and overlooked but essential regions (like the orbicularis oculi , the muscle that lets us blink). Featuring stunning original artwork by the author--acclaimed science writer and presenter Alice Roberts-- these fifty-seven brief lessons in anatomy lay bare the intricate details of the human body, the history of those who unearthed its secrets, and the rich world of language that gives us form.

In the last decade, the science of understanding the human brain and replicating its most complicated processes through artificial intelligence has grown exponentially. Intricate neurological functions ranging from writing poetry to crafting original articles, arenas that had long been thought of as science fiction, have become our reality. And yet, large gaps remain in what AI can achieve.

This Handbook examines complex cognitive systems through the lens of neuroscience, as well as providing an overview of development and applications within cognitive and systems neuroscience research and beyond.

This book is the first truly comprehensive guide to facial aging. It will interest a broad audience, ranging from general readers interested in aging and facial appearance to journalists and scientists concerned with more technical aspects of facial aging and the development of cosmetic solutions. The book takes a carefully constructed, step-by-step approach, moving from the basic deep background to the latest cutting-edge techniques and findings, many of which were developed and established by the author.

Looking at the theory and practice of neuroscience, both past and present, Chirimuuta shows how the science has been shaped by the problem of brain complexity and the need, in science, to make things as simple as possible. From this history, Chirimuuta draws lessons for debates in philosophy of science over the limits and definition of science and in philosophy of mind over explanations of consciousness and the mind-body problem.
